scripts OF the I~celanders; that Columbus
found and read them in one of his voyages
there, and that he is in no sense what
ever entitled to the honor of dem
onstrating there was a continent to the
west of Europe and east Of Asia. Sir John
Vaudeville, however, had already demonstrate
ed the probability of that fact in his celebrated
address; but he made one curious error in
concluding that the globe is $1,000 miles
around instead OF 24,9l2. But leaving all that
aside, 1t is a fact as well established as any
fact In history that Left Ericcson-that is,

the coast for hundreds CT miles, so that the
fact of there being a "new world" was known
to a certainty long before Columbus visited
Iceland and learned the particulars.
But, as Professor Redpath well observes In
his History OF the United States: "An event
must be judged by its consequences. From
the discovery of America by the Norsemen
nothing whatever resulted. The world was
neither wiser nor better. Among the Ice
landers themselves the place and the very
name Of Vineland were forgotten. The cur
tain which had been lifted for a moment was
stretched again from sky " oea, and shz rcTH
world,stm lay hluden in the shadows"
10 this an exception must be taken. The
Scandinavian voyages were thoroughly re-
ported and the reports carefully recorded;
and some knowledge Of them did spread to
the reading men OF Europe, and Columbus
did gather from the Icelandic and Morse re-
cords enough to stimulate his inquiries on the
subject. Therefore, Left Ericsson Is Justly

fourteen tons. As our illustration shows the

member of the Browns. He was born In Wood.
stock, Canada, and played his first engagement
with the Metropolitans, of New York, in 1881.
He then played in the New York league team,
and Joined the st. Louis club in 1888. He leads
the association in batting, and is considered by
many the heaviest batter now playing ball. He
has, without doubt, the finest figure OF any player
on the diamond, being tall, finely formed and
carrying not a pound of extra weight. He Is
known as Tip" o'Neill by all baseball men.
David L. Foutz, the tall, slim pitcher and right
fielder, has been with the Browns three years,
and to his pitching and batting qualities they
owe many a game. Long Dave" as he is called,
is a native of Baltimore, and began playing with
the Leadville team In 1879. He terward Joined
the Bay City Mich) club, which was then in the
Northwestern league. He Is n very earnest, care.
full player, and one of the heaviest batters among
the pitchers OF the country.
Robert L. Caruthers is q Chicago boy and has
played In the st. Louis club for four years. He
came to them from the Minneapolis club, with
whom he started In 1882. He Is a very difficult
pitcher to hit, as the Chicago club learned last
season, and also plays right field when not pitch
ing. He bats left handed and is n hard hitter.
Curtis welch, the middle fielder, is an Ohio
boy. and was born at East Liverpool He started
with the Toledo, o., club in 1888, and Joined the
Browns the next season. Besides being q nne
fielder, he is very handy with the bat, and IL the
